I'll take that as an Ack, and also remove the crazy reverse include
from archrandom.h that most definitely shouldn't be there.

It's now commit 585524081ecd ("random: random.h should include
archrandom.h, not the other way around") in my tree, because a grep
for "archrandom.h" shows that now the only place it exists is
<linux/random.h> and a few files that cannot possibly affect arm64
(because they are on x86 and powerpc, neither of which has that insane
reverse include).
